Reading the tea leaves, it seems that Donovan and Anthony had a conversation where Donovan essentially asked Anthony to make a conscious effort to move the ball more and shoot less, and Anthony has obliged.

On Friday night, Anthony shot 4-for-7 from the field and ended up with just nine points. He followed it up on Sunday by shooting 4-for-10 from the field and again tallied nine points.

For that it’s worth, the back-to-back nine-point efforts are the first time in Anthony’s now 15-year career that the 10-time All-Star has failed to score at least 10 points.

More importantly than that, though is the fact that the Thunder won each of those games and will enter Tuesday’s contest against the Utah Jazz looking for just their second three-game win streak of the season.
